Room 308, Monday evening

[smartestone]

Hermione has a ball python. She's still not sure about this, but it's also not going to burn or sting her, so it's a step up from Hagrid's idea of pets.

Crookshanks keeps hissing at it, though, causing Hermione to roll her eyes as she tries to peruse through a book on caring for the new pet. "Crookshanks, behave. Wadsworth isn't going to hurt you."

Crookshanks completely ignores her. Though honestly, Wadsworth is ignoring Crookshanks, so it's really all right.

[Establishy, unles syou really wanna. No one will probably show, so open. *g*]

"It totally is," Rikku said. "And I'm kinda tired since it's been an extra-long day what with Denmark living six hours in the future. Do you think if I go to sleep I'll wake up for real? I wonder if Jude's gonna be a Jude again and not a kitty."

"I think sleep might help you wake up for real, yes," Hermione says soothingly. "And after you do wake up for real, you can check on Jude."

She might hug Rikku when she's hyper again. Even Crookshanks is watching, if not exactly interested, as he is a cat.

"Okay, yeah," Rikku said, sorting through her drawers for her PJs. "Denmark's kinda pretty, you know. The castle. I hope you and your python get along. I mean, if he's real and all."

[smartestone]

"I hope so too," Hermione says, and yeah, the python looks very real to her still. "I hope everyone gets along very nicely. And tomorrow you'll have to tell me all about Demark."

Rikku slipped into her PJs rather sleepily and nodded, stifling a yawn. "It was ... I'm glad I went but I'm kinda not glad I had to go and the guy's a jerk but I guess he'll be an okay king or whatever, and Horatio's ... you know. I think he'll be okay. I mean, it's just ... you know."

She forgot where that was supposed to be going and didn't bother holding back the yawn this time, climbing under the covers. "Okay. Night, Hermione."

[smartestone]

"Good night, Rikku," Hermione says.

There'll be water and aspirin in the morning. Just in case.
